Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tumblers, in particular to a reciprocating tumbler used for meat food processing. Background Art

[0002] Tumblers are often used in meat processing. They use the principle of physical impact to make the meat roll up and down in a drum, causing it to collide and tumble against each other, achieving a massage and marinating effect.

[0003] Traditional meat tumblers generally have spiral blades fixed on their inner walls for tumbling meat products. The meat products are tumbled in conjunction with the spiral blades as the tumbler rotates. However, since the spiral blades are fixed on the inner wall of the tumbler, after use, when the inner wall of the tumbler needs to be cleaned, the outer side of the spiral blades cannot be fully cleaned, resulting in poor cleaning effect. At the same time, if the cleaning is not thorough, the subsequent use of the equipment is very likely to cause food contamination, which is not conducive to practical application.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a reciprocating tumbling machine for meat food processing to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the utility model provides a reciprocating kneading machine for meat food processing, which solves the problem mentioned in the above background technology that the spiral blades of the traditional meat food kneading machine are fixed on the inner wall of the kneading cylinder. After use, when the inner wall of the kneading cylinder needs to be cleaned, the outer side of the spiral blades cannot be fully cleaned, resulting in poor cleaning effect.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a reciprocating kneading machine for meat processing, comprising a frame, two fixed plates mounted on the top of the frame, a kneading drum rotatably connected between the two fixed plates, a drum cover threadedly connected to one end of the drum, a spiral sheet mounted on the inner side of the drum cover, the spiral sheet being located inside the drum and in contact with the inner wall of the drum;

[0007] A driving mechanism is provided at one end of the tumbling and kneading drum away from the drum cover, and the driving mechanism is used to drive the tumbling and kneading drum to rotate back and forth.

[0008] Through the above technical solution, a detachable drum cover is provided at one end of the tumbling drum, and the spiral blade is installed on the drum cover so that it can be disassembled together with the drum cover. Therefore, when the equipment needs to be cleaned after use, the spiral blade can be disassembled for thorough cleaning, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect and avoiding food contamination during subsequent use, which is beneficial to practical application.

[0009] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a driven gear, a servo motor and a driving gear, the driven gear is mounted on the end of the tumbling drum away from the drum cover, the servo motor is mounted on the inner side of one of the fixed plates, the output shaft of the servo motor passes through the fixed plate, the driving gear is mounted on the output shaft of the servo motor, and the driving gear is meshed with the driven gear.

[0010] Through the above technical solution, the servo motor can drive the driving gear to rotate, thereby driving the driven gear meshing with it to rotate, and then driving the tumbling drum to rotate, so that the meat food inside the tumbling drum can be fully tumbled.

[0011] Preferably, a PLC controller is installed on the top of the frame, and the servo motor is electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0012] Through the above technical solution, the servo motor can be programmed and controlled by the PLC controller, so that it can drive the tumbling drum to rotate back and forth, thereby further improving the tumbling effect of the equipment on meat products.

[0013] Preferably, a material port is provided inside the cylinder cover, and a sealing cover is connected to the internal thread of the material port.

[0014] With the above technical solution, the material can be conveniently added into the interior of the tumbling drum by utilizing the material opening, and the material opening can be conveniently closed by utilizing the sealing cover.

[0015] Preferably, a first sealing ring is installed between the cylinder cover and the tumbling cylinder, and a second sealing ring is installed between the sealing cover and the cylinder cover.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, the first sealing ring can be used to increase the sealing between the drum cover and the tumbling drum, and the second sealing ring can be used to increase the sealing between the sealing cover and the drum cover.

[0017] Preferably, a pipe is fixedly installed inside the sealing cover, and a rotary joint is installed at one end of the pipe away from the sealing cover.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, a rotary joint is used to connect to an external vacuum pipe. Before the food tumbling process begins, the cooperation between the external vacuum pipe and the connecting pipe allows the interior of the tumbling drum to be vacuumed, thereby expelling air from between the meat raw material and its exudates. This prevents thermal expansion during heat processing, improves the appearance and color of the cured meat product, and ensures that the brine quickly penetrates the meat and eliminates air holes. Furthermore, the use of the rotary joint to connect to the external vacuum pipe ensures that the rotation of the tumbling drum drives the connecting pipe to rotate without rotating the external vacuum pipe connected to the rotary joint, thereby preventing entanglement of the external vacuum pipe.

[0019] Preferably, two handles are installed on the outer sides of the cylinder cover and the sealing cover.

[0020] Through the above technical solution, the cylinder cover or the sealing cover can be better installed and removed by using the handle.

[0021] The utility model provides a reciprocating tumbling machine for meat processing, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. The reciprocating tumbler for meat processing has a detachable cover at one end of the tumbler, and the spiral blade is mounted on the cover so that it can be removed together with the cover. Therefore, when the equipment needs to be cleaned after use, the spiral blade can be removed for thorough cleaning, thereby ensuring a cleaning effect and avoiding food contamination during subsequent use, which is beneficial to practical application.

[0023] 2. The reciprocating tumbling machine for meat processing is equipped with a PLC controller to control the servo motor to work. By utilizing the transmission effect between gears and the programmable control of the servo motor, the driving mechanism can drive the tumbling drum to rotate back and forth, thereby further improving the tumbling effect of the equipment on meat products.

[0030] The present invention will be further described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The present invention provides a reciprocating kneading machine for meat processing, comprising a frame 1, with two fixed plates 2 mounted on top. A kneading drum 3 is rotatably connected between the two fixed plates 2, and the two fixed plates 2 are used to support and mount the kneading drum 3. A drum cover 4 is threadedly connected to one end of the kneading drum 3, which is used to seal one end of the kneading drum 3. A first sealing ring 12 is installed between the drum cover 4 and the kneading drum 3, which is used to improve the sealing between the drum cover 4 and the kneading drum 3. A spiral piece 5 is installed on the inner side of the cylinder cover 4. The spiral piece 5 is located inside the tumbling and kneading cylinder 3 and contacts the inner wall of the tumbling and kneading cylinder 3, so that when the cylinder cover 4 is disassembled, the spiral piece 5 can be driven to be disassembled from the inside of the tumbling and kneading cylinder 3, so that the spiral piece 5 can be disassembled and fully cleaned, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect and avoiding food contamination during subsequent use, which is beneficial to practical application. After installation, it can be ensured that the spiral piece 5 rotates with the tumbling and kneading cylinder 3, thereby facilitating the tumbling processing of the meat food inside the tumbling and kneading cylinder 3.

[0032] A material port 10 is provided inside the cylinder cover 4, and a sealing cap 11 is connected to the internal thread of the material port 10. The material port 10 is used to facilitate the addition of materials into the interior of the kneading cylinder 3, and the sealing cap 11 is used to facilitate the sealing of the material port 10. A second sealing ring 13 is installed between the sealing cap 11 and the cylinder cover 4. The second sealing ring 13 can increase the sealing between the sealing cap 11 and the cylinder cover 4. A connecting pipe 14 is fixedly installed inside the sealing cap 11. A rotary joint 15 is installed at the end of the connecting pipe 14 away from the sealing cap 11. The rotary joint 15 is connected to an external vacuum pipe. Before the food is tumbled, the external vacuum pipe and the connecting pipe 14 cooperate to vacuum the interior of the kneading cylinder 3, thereby expelling the air between the meat raw materials and their exudates, preventing thermal expansion during heat processing, improving the appearance and color of the cured meat products, and ensuring that the brine quickly penetrates the meat and removes air holes. At the same time, the rotary joint 15 is used to connect the external vacuum pipe. This ensures that when the kneading drum 3 rotates, the connecting pipe 14 rotates, but does not rotate the external vacuum pipe connected to the rotary joint 15, thereby preventing the external vacuum pipe from getting entangled. The drum cover 4 and the sealing cover 11 are both equipped with two handles on the outside, which can be used to better install and remove the drum cover 4 or the sealing cover 11.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5In one aspect of this embodiment, a drive mechanism is provided at the end of the tumbling drum 3 away from the drum cover 4. The drive mechanism is used to drive the tumbling drum 3 to reciprocate. The drive mechanism includes a driven gear 6, a servo motor 7, and a driving gear 8. The driven gear 6 is mounted on the end of the tumbling drum 3 away from the drum cover 4. The servo motor 7 is mounted on the inner side of one of the fixed plates 2. The output shaft of the servo motor 7 extends through the fixed plate 2, and the driving gear 8 is mounted on the output shaft of the servo motor 7. The driving gear 8 is meshed with the driven gear 6. The operation of the servo motor 7 drives the driving gear 8 to rotate, thereby driving the meshed driven gear 6 to rotate, and in turn, the tumbling drum 3 to rotate, ensuring that the meat product inside the tumbling drum 3 is fully tumbled. A PLC controller 9 is mounted on the top of the frame 1. The servo motor 7 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 9. The PLC controller 9 can programmatically control the servo motor 7, causing it to drive the tumbling drum 3 to reciprocate, further improving the tumbling effect of the equipment on the meat product.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] When in use, first place the device in the designated position and power on the device, and at the same time use the handle to open the sealing cover 11, and use the material port 10 to add the meat product to be tumbled into the tumbling drum 3, and close the sealing cover 11 after the filling is completed;

[0036] Then, the PLC controller 9 can be used to program and control the servo motor 7. Through the operation of the servo motor 7, the driving gear 8 is driven to rotate clockwise first, thereby driving the driven gear 6 meshing with it to rotate clockwise, and then driving the tumbling drum 3 to rotate clockwise. After five clockwise rotations, the servo motor 7 can be controlled to drive the driving gear 8 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby driving the tumbling drum 3 to rotate counterclockwise, and then the tumbling drum 3 rotates back and forth, further improving the tumbling and kneading effect of the equipment on the meat product.

[0037] When it is necessary to clean the inside of the equipment, the cylinder cover 4 is removed from one end of the tumbling and kneading cylinder 3 by using the handle, and the spiral piece 5 is removed from the inside of the tumbling and kneading cylinder 3 at the same time, so that the spiral piece 5 can be easily cleaned, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect and avoiding food contamination during subsequent use, which is beneficial to practical application. After installation, it can also ensure that the spiral piece 5 rotates with the tumbling and kneading cylinder 3, so as to facilitate the tumbling processing of the meat food inside the tumbling and kneading cylinder 3.

[0038] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
